The highest point in the state – at 2,753 feet above sea level – can be found in this region at Mount Magazine State Park near Paris. Outdoor adventures offered at the park include hang gliding, rappelling, rock climbing, camping and hiking. Other prominent mountains in the area include Petit Jean, near Morrilton, and Mount Nebo, near Dardanelle. These three points gave the River Valley region the Tri-Peaks nickname.

There is a place for everyone in Arkansas, a state with a history and culture as colorful and diverse as its physical landscape.
